Elsa our local herb expert gave a tour of all the different herbs and their properties in Robin Hood Community Gardens on Sunday the 24th of June. A good crowd turned up even though the weather was pretty iffy and kept on sweeping between sun and rain. The rain didn’t deter Elsa or the visitors who thoroughly enjoyed being in the garden and learning about the medicinal qualities and uses of the various herbs we have. Most left with a selection of herbs themselves to use in cooking, tinctures or to dry for use later. Thank you Elsa.

Maimie, aged 7, has been regularly taking photos of the wild flower border to keep a record of what’s been growing in May and June. You can see here her photos of the cornflowers, daisies, foxgloves, marigolds and poppies.
